Mega Joker

Classic slot games have never been so nostalgic before, NetEnt has re-created those old favourite fruity machines that you would find in a vegas casino and we couldn’t be more excited about it. Mega Joker has five paylines on three reels and three rows.

As usual, when dealing with the more classic variety of video slots, you will only win when you have three identical symbols in a row. This is probably one of the best parts of these old classic style slot games because sometimes it feels as though there is more excitement since you are just wishing and waiting for those 3 identical symbols to show up.

The symbols consist of fruit, which you’d probably expect regardless of it being an online slot, and you will also notice that the paylines and payout sums are listed on the sides as it is on the physical slots. The only thing that is missing here is the lever!

Before you begin your spins on this retro fruity game you should be sure to adjust your betting limits. It’s not really that different to any other slot game although it may seem so upon first glance. In order to adjust your bet, you can use the button at the bottom of the grid which says ‘bet’, and if you are feeling extra lucky why not give the ‘max bet’ button a go.

You choose a coin value of 1p, 2p or £1. This means that your bets may be set between £1 and £10. You may also choose to bet one or ten coins. This will affect your chances of winning. If you bet ten coins, you may win something called a Mystery prize.

That will give between 20 and 400 coins if you get three jokers on one payline

The value of the symbols in the main game are, in descending order according to their value:

• Joker
• Treasure chest
• Bell
• Melon
• Lemon
• Cherries

The symbols in the SUPERMETER-game are in descending order:

• Joker
• Seven
• Bell
• Melon
• Grapes
• Lemon
• Orange
• Cherries

The theoretical payback percentage will be influenced by your bets. If you bet only one coin, you will have a theoretical payback percentage of 76,0%. This means that for every 100 coins you bet, 76,9% will go back to us players and 23,1% will go to the casino. If you bet 10 coins on the other hand, your odds will improve considerably and will be somewhere between 89,1% and 99,0%. The payback percentage will vary, because in the special game, you will get certain choices which will give you an optimal way of playing.

There is no Wild symbol or Scatter symbol that will give you Free Spins or Bonus rounds in this slot game which is rather disappointing to be honest. But then again, after every win (if you play with 10 coins) you will get the chance to place your bet in the SUPERMETER game. These are the reels that you see above the main game, and in this game the prizes are a quite a bit bigger. This is where you have the chance to really take home the big wins, as all the prizes will be saved and you may raise (or lower) the stakes after each round.

When you are satisfied with your winnings on the supermeter, you just hit the collect button and the money will be sent to your account. Once this is done, you will get to continue your game. Also, of every deposit to the game, 3% goes to the games' jackpot.

The jackpot is won in the main game and we feel that it is the best part of the Mega Joker slot game

It really all comes down to taste and preference for slot games like Mega Joker, some of us prefer the more classic fruity machines, whereas other players enjoy the more modern and 3D slot games filled with Bonus features and fun in-game special features. Mega Joker by NetEnt is a game which will keep you on your toes because it’s not as though you have 5 reels. In Mega Joker in order to have a winning line you need to make sure that you have 3 of the same symbols on the 3 reels.

And there are also chances for you to take part in the ‘Supermeter’ section where there are much bigger wins

So even though the Bonus features are not exactly present in the game, NetEnt has still allowed us to rake in some juicy wins in other ways. It’s perfect for you players who go down to your local pub during the weekends just to have a few spins on the fruity, this is what it reminds us of. But instead of going down to the pub you can just find it on any of our top casino sites throughout the UK.
